Ah, yes, looking for a bit better weather than the last time I was in Detroit covering FAU football.

That would be the memorable day-after-XMas Motor City Bowl in 2008…

At least the DT was there to warm things up.

Excellent! Your post has quite a few readers. How did you get all of these bloggers to see your site I’m jealous! I’m still learning all about posting articles on the net. I’m going to look around on your website to get a better understanding how to achieve success. Thanks for the assistance!

That is the correct weblog for anybody who desires to find out about this topic. You understand so much its almost arduous to argue with you (not that I truly would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, just great!

Parts of the city are being reclaimed the prairie. Sort of like the Mayan cities were reclaimed by the jungle after the fall of their civilization. But hey, like some these posters claim, if you're itching for a good hot dog or slice, or a 3500 square foot house for $60,000 Detroit is right up there. Personally, I'll be in Chicago.

Make sure you hit Greektown right next to Ford Field. Another "Must do" is to hit Buddy's Pizza, Pronto Pizza or Primo's Pizza. Now those 3 now how to make a real pizza. On the way to the airport, stop at Greene's Hambugers in Farmington and eat a half dozen!

I grew up in suburban Detriot. If you had a good giude, you would have found plenty to do there, even in December. There are plenty of hole in the wall places, some w/good music, some that are just fun to hang out. The area around Ford Field and Comerica should be hopping right now, or go to Royal Oak. As for food, make sure you hit Lafayette Coney Island, which has been featured on the Food Network and the Travel Channel. Best Coney dogs around, dare I say better than a lot of places in NYC. This time of year the weather should be enjoyable, as in cool but not cold and no humidity. As for FAU, well, I was happy to see Rusty Smith made the Tennessee Titans' roster. He may never be a star in the league, but he's got two good pros in front of him to learn from anf who knows, maybe Tennessee will have nothing ot play for in Week 17 and he'll get a start. Enjoy your trip

This is probably a senseless question at this point as FAU prepares to head north. Why is this "home game" for the Owls being played in MSU's background when the last time FAU had a home game against a Big Ten Team (Minnesota Golden Gophers) played in the now Sun Lite Stadium? We remember what FAU did to the Golden Gophers in that game. I suspect this time around the all might dollar won out over a plan to even consider how a trip to the heat and humidity could have made a FAU chance to upset even more believable and probable. I guess a big check is better than a win.
